Abstract:on pain, stiffness, return to pre-injury activity, return to work and re-rupture. We conclude that by using our protocol, the re-rupture rate of acute Achilles tendon rupture in the non-operative group was comparable to the operative group. Hence this ultrasound-based protocol can be employed to decide between treating this injury operatively or non-operatively.
